from IJ Review: The House Freedom Caucus will vote for Representative Daniel Webster (R-FL) for Speaker of the House when the Republican conference chooses its candidate on Thursday. The group said in a statement, according to the Washington Post: “It is clear that our constituents will simply not accept a continuation of the status quo, and that the viability of the Republican Party depends on whether we start listening to our voters and fighting to keep our promises … We accordingly believe that, under the present circumstances and without significant changes to Conference leadership and process, Rep. Daniel Webster would be … Continue reading →

From: wnd.com, by Garth Kant, on Sep 4, 2015, see the article HERE. WASHINGTON – Why won’t Republican leadership in Congress fight President Obama? It’s the question that frustrates 75 percent of GOP voters and an issue that has likely helped Donald Trump skyrocket in the polls. Now, WND has obtained a revealing look into the thought process of the congressional Republican elite during a candid email exchange with a Senate leadership aide. It showed why GOP leadership is apparently so reluctant to effectively confront Obama on such key issues as defunding executive amnesty, Obamacare and Planned Parenthood. The dialogue also revealed … Continue reading →

From: hotair.com, by: Jazz Shaw, on: March 17, 2015, read the article HERE: An editorial comment by Garnet92: Just in case you’re not familiar with the term “doc fix,” here’s a brief description: The doc fix is the term applied to a temporary “fix” enacted by Congress each year to keep an automatic reduction in physician reimbursement from taking place. In 1998, due to concerns of escalating healthcare costs, Medicare payments for physicians were tied to a Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula. Unfortunately, healthcare inflation outpaces general inflation and since 2002, the cost of physician services has exceeded what would be predicted from … Continue reading →

From Breitbart: The House voted down a three-week, short term Department of Homeland Security funding bill Friday afternoon. The measure failed on a vote of 203-224 with 52 Republicans voting against the measure. The three-week measure was intended as a stop-gap to allow the House and Senate time to reconcile their divergent DHS appropriations bills without a DHS shutdown. Funding for DHS expires at midnight. Last month the House passed a DHS funding bill with provisions to block President Obama’s executive amnesty. When the bill reached the Senate, Democrats spent much of the month of February refusing to allow debate … Continue reading →

From Fox News: Speaker of the House John Boehner is apparently punishing Republicans who voted against his re-election Tuesday, despite previously saying he would not do so. Reps. Daniel Webster and Richard Nugent are both losing their seats on the House Rules Committee, Politico reported Tuesday evening. Both Florida Republicans voted for Webster instead of Boehner earlier in the day. Such moves seem to contradict recent statements made by Boehner and his office. Asked last week if any Republicans who voted against Boehner would be punished, spokesman Michael Steel told The Daily Caller by email: “Boehner has said publicly that there … Continue reading →

Read It And Weep Et Tu, Trey Gowdy ? This is a consummate (though not surprising) disgrace – do Republicans understand now, that there is nothing and no one in the GOP to vote for? There’s nothing to lose by forming a new party, because it’s already lost. ~Terry

From The Daily Caller: Some disaffected conservative House Republicans are planning to rebel and vote against John Boehner for speaker of the House when the new Congress convenes next week. The official speaker’s election is set for Jan. 6., when the House will convene for a public floor vote to open the new Congress. While the vote is usually just a formality, these conservative lawmakers are planning to vote for someone other than the Ohio Republican who has been speaker since 2011. “Right now, I’ve been meeting with a small group, and we — about 16, 18 — and we’re … Continue reading →

From Breitbart: House Speaker John Boehner announced a member working group on the ongoing crisis of unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors crossing the southwest border Tuesday. Headed by Texas Republican Rep. Kay Granger and composed mainly of congressman from border states, Boehner said he is forming the group to keep Congress up to date on the “crisis” because “the president has failed to take the necessary steps to address this crisis.” “The president has allowed a national security and humanitarian crisis to develop on the U.S. southern border. There are two imperatives here: protect those children and secure our border,” Boehner … Continue reading →

Not much has changed since these clips. Oh, “the kind of insanity we’re dealing with.” The outrage goes on. Boehner, complicit or just complacent?

The Daily Caller: Georgia Republican Rep. Paul Broun took a swipe at Speaker of the House John Boehner Monday, saying that he is not conservative enough. Broun, who is running for Senate in Georgia, hit Rep. Jack Kingston, another Republican congressman seeking the Senate nomination for not being sufficiently conservative. He contended that lawmaker rankings from National Journal are not accurate because they equated being conservative with voting with the speaker. National Journal ranked Kingston as the second most conservative member of the Georgia delegation, and the 17th most conservative in the House overall. Broun was ranked 196th overall, making … Continue reading →

Bill has a few choice words about John Boehner, Speaker of the House: “blocking the formation of a select committee on Benghazi…” That explains a lot. I have been wondering why Rep. Darrell Issa, who has been leading the charge on the administration scandals, isn’t making any headway. In my view there are only two reasons to do so: 1) Since Americans have a short memory, wait until 2014 to skewer obama over Benghazi and thus destroy the administration’s narrative including the Hildabeast’s chances for 2016. A twofer. 2) Boehner is part of the cover-up. What do you think? ~ … Continue reading →
